God’s Word Translation
1 Thessalonians 3:1-5
1We thought it best to remain in Athens by ourselves. But, because we couldn’t wait any longer ⌞for news about you⌟,
2we sent our brother Timothy to you. He serves God by spreading the Good News about Christ. His mission was to strengthen and encourage you in your faith
3so that these troubles don’t disturb any of you. You know that we’re destined to suffer persecution.
4In fact, when we were with you, we told you ahead of time that we were going to suffer persecution. And as you know, that’s what happened.
5But when I couldn’t wait any longer, I sent ⌞Timothy⌟ to find out about your faith. I wanted to see whether the tempter had in some way tempted you, making our work meaningless.
